img

Standalone, daemon-less, unprivileged Dockerfile and OCI compatible container image builder.

img is more cache-efficient than Docker and can also execute multiple build stages concurrently, as it internally uses BuildKit's DAG solver.

The commands/UX are the same as docker {build,tag,push,pull,login,logout,save} so all you have to do is replace docker with img in your scripts, command line, and/or life.

Goals

This a glorified cli tool built on top of buildkit. The goal of this project is to be able to build container images as an unprivileged user.

Running unprivileged allows companies who use LDAP and other login mechanisms to use img without needing root. This is very important in HPC environments and academia as well.

Currently this works out of the box on a Linux machine if you install via the directions covered in installing from binaries. This installation will ensure you have the correct version of img and also runc.

Upstream Patches

The ultimate goal is to also have this work inside a container. There are patches being made to container runtimes and Kubernetes to make this possible. For the on-going work toward getting patches into container runtimes and Kubernetes, see:

The patches for runc has been merged into the upstream since ecd55a4135e0a26de884ce436442914f945b1e76 (May 30, 2018). The upstream BuildKit can also run in rootless mode since 65b526438b86a17cf35042011051ce15c8bfb92a (June 1, 2018).

Benchmarks

If you are curious about benchmarks comparing various container builders, check out @AkihiroSuda's buildbench results.

Installation

You need to have newuidmap installed. On Ubuntu, newuidmap is provided by the uidmap package.

You also need to have seccomp installed. On Ubuntu, seccomp is provided by the libseccomp-dev package.

runc will be installed on start from an embedded binary if it is not already available locally. If you would like to disable the embedded runc you can use BUILDTAGS="seccomp noembed" while building from source with make. Or the environment variable IMG_DISABLE_EMBEDDED_RUNC=1 on execution of the img binary.

NOTE: These steps work only for Linux. Compile and run in a container (explained below) if you're on Windows or MacOS.

Binaries

For installation instructions from binaries please visit the Releases Page.

From Source

$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/genuinetools
$ git clone https://github.com/genuinetools/img $GOPATH/src/github.com/genuinetools/img
$ cd !$
$ make
$ sudo make install

# For packagers if you would like to disable the embedded `runc`, please use:
$ make BUILDTAGS="seccomp noembed"

Alpine Linux

There is an APKBUILD.

$ apk add img

Arch Linux

There is an AUR build.

# Use whichever AUR helper you prefer
$ yay -S img

# Or build from the source PKGBUILD
$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/img.git
$ cd img
$ makepkg -si

Gentoo

There is an ebuild.

$ sudo emerge -a app-emulation/img

Running with Docker

Docker image r.j3ss.co/img is configured to be executed as an unprivileged user with UID 1000 and it does not need --privileged since img v0.5.11.

$ docker run --rm -it \
    --name img \
    --volume $(pwd):/home/user/src:ro \ # for the build context and dockerfile, can be read-only since we won't modify it
    --workdir /home/user/src \ # set the builder working directory
    --volume "${HOME}/.docker:/root/.docker:ro" \ # for credentials to push to docker hub or a registry
    --security-opt seccomp=unconfined --security-opt apparmor=unconfined \ # required by runc
    r.j3ss.co/img build -t user/myimage .

To enable PID namespace isolation (which disallows build containers to kill(2) the img process), you need to specify --privileged so that build containers can mount /proc with unshared PID namespaces. Note that even with --privileged, img works as an unprivileged user with UID 1000.

See docker/cli patch for how to allow mounting /proc without --privileged.

Running with Kubernetes

Since img v0.5.11, you don't need to specify any securityContext for running img as a Kubernetes container.

However the following security annotations are needed:

container.apparmor.security.beta.kubernetes.io/img: unconfined
container.seccomp.security.alpha.kubernetes.io/img: unconfined

To enable PID namespace isolation, you need to set securityContext.procMount to Unmasked (or simply set securityContext.privileged to true). securityContext.procMount is available since Kubernetes 1.12 with Docker 18.06/containerd 1.2/CRI-O 1.12.

Usage

Make sure you have user namespace support enabled. On some distros (Debian and Arch Linux) this requires running echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone.

Cross Platform

img and the underlying buildkit library support building containers for arbitrary platforms (OS and architecture combinations). In img this can be achieved using the --platform option, but note that using the RUN command during a build requires installing support for the desired platform, and any FROM images used must exist for the target platform as well.

Some common platforms include:

linux/amd64
linux/arm64
linux/arm/v7
linux/arm/v6
linux/s390x
linux/ppc64le
darwin/amd64
windows/amd64

If you use multiple --platform options for the same build, they will be included into a manifest and should work for the different platforms built for.

The most common way to get RUN working in cross-platform builds is to install an emulator such as QEMU on the host system (static bindings are recommended to avoid shared library loading issues). To properly use the emulator inside the build environment, the kernel binfmt_misc parameters must be set with the following flags: OCF. You can check the settings in /proc to ensure they are set correctly.

$ cat /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/qemu-arm | grep flags
flags: OCF

On Debian/Ubuntu the above should be available with the qemu-user-static package >= 1:2.12+dfsg-3

NOTE: cross-OS builds are slightly more complicated to get RUN commands working, but follow from the same principle.

Exporter Types

img can also use buildkit's exporter types directly to output the resulting image to a Docker-type bundle or a rootfs tar without saving the image itself locally. Builds will still benefit from caching.

The output type and destination are specified with the --output flag. The list of valid output specifications includes:

flag	description
`-o type=tar,dest=rootfs.tar`	export rootfs of target image to a tar archive
`-o type=tar`	output a rootfs tar to stdout, for use in piped commands
`-o type=docker,dest=image.tar`	save a Docker-type bundle of the image
`-o type=oci,dest=image.tar`	save an OCI-type bundle of the image
`-o type=local,dest=rootfs/`	export the target image to this directory
`-o type=image,name=r.j3ss.co/img`	build and tag an image and store it locally

When used in conjunction with a Dockerfile which has a final FROM scratch stage and only copies files of interest from earlier stages with COPY --from=..., this can be utilized to output arbitrary build artifacts for example.

Login to a Registry

If you need to use self-signed certs with your registry, see Using Self-Signed Certs with a Registry.

$ img login -h
login -  Log in to a Docker registry.

Usage: img login [OPTIONS] [SERVER]

Flags:
  -h, --help              help for login
  -p, --password string   Password
      --password-stdin    Take the password from stdin
  -u, --username string   Username

Global Flags:
  -b, --backend string   backend for snapshots ([auto native overlayfs fuse-overlayfs]) (default "auto")
  -d, --debug            enable debug logging
  -s, --state string     directory to hold the global state (default "/home/user/.local/share/img")

Logout from a Registry

$ img logout -h
logout -  Log out from a Docker registry.

Usage: img logout [SERVER]

Flags:
  -h, --help   help for logout

Global Flags:
  -b, --backend string   backend for snapshots ([auto native overlayfs fuse-overlayfs]) (default "auto")
  -d, --debug            enable debug logging
  -s, --state string     directory to hold the global state (default "/home/user/.local/share/img")

Using Self-Signed Certs with a Registry

We do not allow users to pass all the custom certificate flags on commands because it is unnecessarily messy and can be handled through Linux itself. Which we believe is a better user experience than having to pass three different flags just to communicate with a registry using self-signed or private certificates.

Below are instructions on adding a self-signed or private certificate to your trusted ca-certificates on Linux.

Make sure you have the package ca-certificates installed.

Copy the public half of your CA certificate (the one user to sign the CSR) into the CA certificate directory (as root):

$ cp cacert.pem /usr/share/ca-certificates

Rebuild the directory with your certificate included, run as root:

# On debian, this will bring up a menu.
# Select the ask option, scroll to the certificate you are adding,
# 	mark it for inclusion, and select ok.
$ dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates

# On other distros...
$ update-ca-certificates

How It Works

Unprivileged Mounting

To mount a filesystem without root accsess, img automatically invokes newuidmap(1)/newgidmap(1) SUID binaries to prepare SUBUIDs/SUBGIDs, which is typically required by apt.

Make sure you have sufficient entries (typically >=65536) in your /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid.

Snapshotter Backends

auto (default)

The auto backend selects a backend based on what the current system supports, preferring overlayfs, then fuse-overlayfs, then native.

native

The native backend creates image layers by simply copying files. copy_file_range(2) is used when available.

overlayfs

The overlayfs backend uses the kernel's native overlayfs support. It requires a kernel patch from Ubuntu to be unprivileged, see #22.

fuse-overlayfs

The fuse-overlayfs backend provides overlay support without any kernel patches. It requires a Linux kernel >= 4.18 and for fuse-overlayfs to be installed.

Contributing

Please do! This is a new project and can use some love <3. Check out the issues.

The local directories are mostly re-implementations of buildkit interfaces to be unprivileged.

A lot of this is based on the work of moby/buildkit. Thanks @tonistiigi and @AkihiroSuda!
